You can see it is about equal to the ring from naxx10, trading some crit/expertise for greater stam. The other ring comes from naxx25 and is obviously superior. Personally it would be a nice upgrade from blue quality rings but this may be shortlived and fairly quickly replaced if you are capable of raiding.

Comment by Lemonwizard

This is not the tank version of the ring. This is simply the one for DPS warriors, DPS death knights, and ret paladins. Strength instead of agility, expertise instead of haste, this is much better itemised for plate classes than the band of the kirin tor, which would be taken by agility based classes like rogues and hunters.

Currently on the PTR for 3.0.8 this is not part of the "Ring of the Kirin Tor" achievement. Reported as a bug and will hopefully get fixed.

Comment by Sergius

That's funny: ring specially created for strength users is worse dps-wise then original rogue-like one (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40586). Why the heck blizz had to put so much stamina on it?

Comment by farble1670

does this really cost 8.5kg? i guess if you have more gold than you know what to do with, the teleport is worth it. stats wise the ring is nothing special and can be replaced with crafted, heroic, and 10-man drops.

bring on the "i make 10k gold a day" brag posts.

Comment by Hemlocke

The cost is 8500g if you are neutral with the Kirin Tor. This cost, like other purchases and services from assorted factions, goes down by 5% at each higher reputation level. So:

8075g at Friendly7650g at Honored7225g at Revered6800g at Exalted

(Note: I've seen the Friendly and Honored costs for myself; if someone else is Revered or Exalted and for some odd reason the costs I've listed on those two are incorrect, please post the correct prices.)

Anyone else notice the big stat point difference between the this and the other dps ring?

Quick compare with "Ring" on the left and "Band" on the right

50Str = 100Ap34 crit = 34 crit31 exp = 31 haste75 stam > 51 stam

Extra 24 stam ≠ 33 agi

Blizzard has put forth how they value stats as compared to each other with the gems they design, Stamina is 1.5x any other stat in their itemization. 33 agility should be 49.5 stamina (50 when rounded up)

Does the teleport share the cooldown with the hearthstone?

Comment by Uoyredrum

Unlike most similar items, this item both does not have a warmup time for the use after you equip it, and does not share a cooldown with similar effects, making it well worth the gold to buy for anyone who can afford it.

Can you use this ring to portal to Dalaran from anywhere, or does it only work in Northrend?

Comment by kabookiejoe

anyone know if the 15 minute guild reduction on hearth applies to the ring?

edit: nm ask a friend, no effect on the ring, oh well

Comment by sopor30

I bought this ring back during the Lich King expansion and it has been worth every penny (copper) that I shelled out for it, as it essentially provides me with a second hearth. Since there is a portal to Org (Stormwind too, I assume) in Dalaran, this allows one to set their hearthstone to some other place, and then use this ring to get back to Org (Stormwind) through the port in Dalaran.

Would be nice if Blizz made this a BOA considering the steep cost and with them going BOA crazy over the past couple years. They encourage end-game and this would be a minor (though welcomed) addition for getting there faster.
